The Mudhouse
We were greeted by a large welcoming party, who unloaded the van and carried our luggage off down a dirt track into the forest. After saying bye to Geehan and Sanjeewa (our driver) we too were lead down the dirt track unsure where we were going.

Sigiriya Village Experience
We set off from Hotel Sigiriya and were dropped off on the main road a few minutes later. We knew that we were going on a “Village Experience” tour, but wasn’t exactly sure what it entailed.

Fiji: What we can remember
Unfortunately we didn't actually write any notes about Fiji, we were too busy island hopping and relaxing on the beaches. It was our holiday (within a holiday). We arrived Nadi Airport 14.10 Thursday 15th 2003. We were greeted by a swarm of travel agents all toutting for busness. We took a luck with a friendly looking lady called Nate from Rambua Travel Fiji. After a long chat with her we booked for a week on…
